About this author

Carla Stewart’s writing reflects her passion for times gone by as depicted in her first highly-acclaimed novel, Chasing Lilacs. Carla launched her writing career in 2002 when she earned the coveted honor of being invited to attend Guidepost's Writers Workshop in Rye, New York. Since then, her articles have appeared in Guideposts, Angels on Earth, Saddle Baron, and Blood and Thunder: Musings on the Art of Medicine.

I love a good mystery! This one was particularly fascinating since it's set in the state where I live - Oklahoma. I learned some history I didn't know and was captivated by the character development and twists and turns this book took.
